Theatreworks USA's "A Christmas Carol" at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts Dec. 17

November 16, 2006

The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts welcomes Theatreworks USA back for a special children's production of "A Christmas Carol" as part of the "Young Audience Sunday Series," on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

With witty dialogue and fresh new songs, Theatreworks USA's version of "A Christmas Carol" captures both the humorous and touching moments of the classic story. The production, running approximately one hour, conveys to children from all grades, Dickens' original message that the holiday season should be a "kind, forgiving, charitable time."

This dedicated and innovative theater company maintains its high standards in production values with wildly colorful costumes and dazzling sets. The New York Times lauds Theatreworks USA's production of this holiday standard as "a thorough delight - inspired, funny and intimate."

Single tickets are $12 adults, $10 children. To purchase tickets, call the Quick Center Box Office at (203) 254-4010 or toll free at 1-877-ARTS-396. For more information visit http://www.quickcenter.com.
